Dividend Policy

Our basic policy is to maintain stable dividends while securing sufficient internal reserves to support our business development and fortify our financial position. During the three years of our current medium-term management plan Yokohama Transformation 2026 (YX2026), we will actively invest in new growth opportunities that will support sustainable profit growth in the future. We expect this effort will enable us to stably and steadily raise our dividend in accordance with our basic policy.

Notes:

1:The interim and year-end dividends for fiscal 2017 each include a special, centennial dividend of ¥5.

2:Yokohama carried out a one-for-two share merger effective July 1, 2015. The company has accounted for that merger in calculating the dividend payable to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2015.

3:The aggregate annual dividend conforms with management’s projection announced in February 2015, adjusted for the share merger.

4:Yokohama switched in 2011 to a calendar-year fiscal term, which resulted in a one-time-only nine-month fiscal term.
